Support for Fisheries in Bavaria within the Framework of the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF)

Within the framework of the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF), companies and cooperatives in Bavaria can access grants for investments and restructuring measures. The aim of the funding is to strengthen and modernize fisheries through technical support, environmental requirements, and sustainable management of water bodies. Particularly small and medium-sized fisheries enterprises as well as cooperatives investing in fishing, aquaculture, or the processing of fish products benefit from the financial relief. The funding areas range from agriculture and rural development to environmental and nature conservation, as well as energy efficiency and climate protection.

An important feature is the ongoing application possibility: funding applications can be submitted at any time, without fixed deadlines. This ensures flexible planning and implementation of modernization and restructuring projects. The funding contributes to increasing the competitiveness of Bavarian fisheries, securing jobs, and improving ecological standards. The Bavarian State Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Tourism consistently focuses on forward-looking innovations and sustainable development in fisheries within the framework of this program. Participants receive not only financial support but also benefit from professional guidance and legal advice during project implementation.
